91. Jesus Listening

1 When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies,
I’ll bid farewell to ev’ry fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes.

Refrain:
Jesus list’ning all the day long,
Jesus list’ning all the day long,
Jesus list’ning all the day long,
To hear some sinner pray.

2 Should earth against my soul engage,
And fi’ry darts be hurled,
Then I can smile at Satan’s rage,
And face a frowning world. [Refrain]

3 Let cares like a wild deluge come,
Let storms of sorrow fall,
So I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heav’n my all. [Refrain]

4 There I shall bathe my weary soul
In seas of heav’nly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll,
Across my peaceful breast. [Refrain]
